Love the amazing teachers and classes designed for all skill levels. The teachers help each individual improve and get the most from the workout. Plus, the studio builds a sense of community you can’t get from any gym.

Bar Method Madison goes the extra mile to help me improve my fitness. The talented instructors guide me through an awesome workout each session while offering individualized feedback both in person and via Zoom! The local community vibe provides a safe and rewarding environment to improve my health and wellness. Huge shout out to Gina and team for accomplishing all of this. My 2020 was better because of you all. Thank you. Kim

I have been a Bar Method devotee for 8+ years and counting. The Bar Method is a workout that’s challenging for the body and mind. I love being in a group setting, especially at Bar Method Madison. It’s a group class with the feel of a personalized training session. The teachers and clients are amazing. The community is extremely supportive and encouraging to reach your best self. It’s definitely more than a workout and the energy goes beyond the studio’s walls.

The Bar Method Madison is an amazing place to get in a workout that is safe and supportive, which is especially important during a global pandemic. The staff is so welcoming and friendly, and they make you feel right at home. I love The Bar Method because it is made up of women who support each other...from the front desk staff to the teachers to the attendees...everyone is there to lift each other up! It is a great workout that also includes tons of stretching, which has been so helpful with my chronic rotator cuff issues.

Ive recently rekindled my love of Bar Method during lockdown and want to praise Gina and her entire team at Bar Method Madison. Their positive energy comes across in each and every session. I love the instructors attention to detail and how they challenge me to bring my best self to class for a stronger body and mind. Would suggest everyone try it!

The Bar Method has been such an important part of my life since i joined last November. I was recovering from a pinched nerve in my neck and was looking for a safe and effective way to improve my posture and build upper body strength. Bar did that for me and much more - I feel stronger, leaner, healthier, and more balanced. When the pandemic hit, the studio transitioned seamlessly to online classes and now offers classes in a variety of formats so I can workout in studio, outdoors in the parking lot, or from my family room at any time of day that fits my schedule. All of the instructors are wonderful, it’s very well run, and I feel like I’m part of a community.

The Bar Method in Madison has been a source of physical (and emotional!) strength before and especially during COVID. The instructors and staff are knowledgable, beyond helpful, and welcoming. I toyed with joining this community for years and my only regret is that I didnt start sooner.

A friend recommended Bar Method Madison to me. I was looking to ease back into exercise after the birth of my twins and Bar Method was right down the street from me, which is great for a new mom. I was a little nervous to start because I had never done a barre class before but I wanted to give it a shot. I was amazed by their staff. Ive been to a lot of different types of gyms, yoga studios, pilates studios, etc and I have never experienced such a welcoming environment before. Everyone truly goes above and beyond to learn your name and make you feel comfortable. Going to a new gym or exercise class can be intimidating and scary, but the welcoming staff made me feel right at home. Each time I walk in they happily greet me with big smiles and its those things that make a huge difference and keep people coming back. Additionally, Gina and her staff have been so fabulous during the pandemic by providing virtual and outdoor, socially distanced classes. I cant recommend Bar Method Madison enough.

The Bar Method of Madison is TOP NOTCH. The teachers are all super knowledgable and friendly, and the workout is tough, effective and upbeat. I left class feeling energized and wanting more. Ive been to other Bar Method Studios, but the Madison Studio has a different vibe....its inclusive, safe and welcoming.

Consistently the best all around workout for body, mind and community. Even in challenging times, the staff has risen above to now provide even more classes and more options: streamed live, recorded, outdoor and safe distanced indoor. Following extremely strict cleaning practices, indoor classes remain challenging, fun, safe and give a great respite during stressful times.

Love the teachers and challenge of the workout. Gina and the staff always go above and beyond. They have been able to keep things going during the most challenging time and with so many restrictions in NJ. Bar has been such a grounding force during Covid and I’m so grateful.

Have been attending the madison bar classes ever since my chiropractor recommended me to start yoga after my car accident about 5 yrs ago .. I had sciatica post accident and super tight hip flexors that I could not even touch my toes.. I tried madison bar method and the instructors were so helpful and I am still going today .. now my flexibility has improved and my back is so much better due to the regular stretching and exercise at Bar class.

The women who run this studio and classes care about the people who take classes. Ive always loved Bar Method as a workout, its very meditative, and Ive loved getting to know this studio. They create a sense of community - Im not going just to workout, I feel like I and my experience matter to them.Ive really loved the remote clinics theyve hosted, and the resources theyve given us during quarantine. Its a difficult situation for most and Ive found comfort in the way theyve handled it.

The Bar Method Madison is my daily “go-to” for a challenging , fantastic overall body workout that includes toning, cardio, core strength, stretching , balance and flexibility . The studio is beautiful, clean, well-run, upbeat, warm and inviting with a wonderful sense of community. Currently there are even great virtual live stream programs! As a founding member, I highly recommend!

I love Bar Method! I am a runner and was skeptical about the workout because I like the sweat that comes from a good run. I took my first class with a friend when I was having some pain in my upper hamstring. The instructors were awesome in helping me modify my seat exercises to adjust for the pain and after about 4 months I was pain free! Now, 18 months later, I still attend class 3-4 times a week! It is a great complement to my runs! (especially because Im not good about stretching after I run). I feel stronger and more flexible and have muscles that are more defined (Love when my husband grabs my arm and says check out these guns!). The exercises in Bar have helped me focus on my posture when I run, which makes the runs even more effective. I also noticed that my quads did not hurt on my first few ski days of the season and that my balance is better in my golf game. Bar Method has had an impact on so many aspects of my life! And to be able to come to a place to exercise where everyone on the staff always makes you feel welcome and often makes you laugh in the middle of some difficult set is the icing on the cake! It has definitely become one of my lifestyle choices! Thank you!

Bar Method- Madison, NJ is filled with positive energy. It’s hard not to feel good about your decision to workout there once you enter, and even more so, once you leave feeling re-centered and re-energized. The exercise has improved my flexibility and strength. There are classes for all levels. I am so grateful to have the Bar Method community in my world.

The Bar Method Madison is the best! The owner, staff, teachers and clients are all friendly, supportive and welcoming. No matter how many classes I attend, the exercises never get easier! The workouts are challenging, but do-able. Over the years, I have tried every type of exercise and barre class out there. The Bar Method is the only workout that has lengthened, strengthened and leaned out my muscles. It has completely transformed my body. And the fact that it is non impact means I can keep with it for the next 40 years!

Cant say enough great things about Bar Method Madison. The prices are on par with most boutique fitness studios in the area and if you choose the unlimited class option (Club Bar), you will be motivated enough to go often and get your moneys worth! You can usually take advantage of an introductory month special for a lower rate - dont be surprised if after that month you are totally hooked!The Studio: Conveniently located with plenty of free parking. The instructors and staff are welcoming and kind, and their dedication and professionalism will amaze you.The Classes: Fun, upbeat, challenging and offered at a variety of times to suit many schedules. Do not be intimidated by moves youve never encountered or classes with members who make it look easy - consistency and regular practice are key! They recommend going 3-5 times a week for best results.The Results: WOW! Never have I seen results so fast and so specific. These exercises will make you stronger, longer, and leaner everywhere. You will see results on the scale, in the mirror, and most importantly, in class as you continue to develop and challenge yourself.The sense of community and inclusiveness Bar Method of Madison has created is very special. Bar Method members come in all shapes and sizes but the one thing they have in common is that they are strong inside and out. Its inspiring to work out next to these ladies!

I love, love this place! The classes are challenging, well run and organized. Classes are designed to strengthen, tone and stretch every major muscle group. They FOCUS on form a LOT so you get the most out of the workout. Who knew small movements can give you the soreness equaled to none. They also have a lot of add on’s that make it interesting, variety and great experience for their clients: form clinics, cooking instructions, book club, CPR, private lessons, bar bingo challenge (I love this!). Great job and kudos to the team that runs this place - they work very hard at it!!!!

I’ve had the best experience with Bar Method Madison! The instructors are so welcoming and encouraging and everyone is super friendly.

Bar Method Madison has a special place in my heart. I started attending the studio while pregnant and I was welcomed with smiling faces and an abundance of modifications so that I could participate in classes up until the day I had my baby girl. The instructors are friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. One huge bonus is that they have a great schedule...a time for everyone. Not many places offer classes where you can be done by 6:00/6:30am. I am able to get to work on time and my workout is done. Its a perfect way to start the day.

You cant ask for a better workout! You can work as hard as you need or are able to work, and the results come in a few short weeks. It is possible to completely transform your body, and because of the stretching and yogalike end of class, it has a meditative feeling to it as well that balances the soul.

After trying other gyms of this type in the area Ive revised my rating to a five-star. Nowhere else did the staff work is hard to insure that each person enjoy their experience, was comfortable in the environment, and got the best benefit from the workout possible. I could have easily become addicted to the energy. Give it a shot

The staff and instructors are fabulous. The best thing about the Bar Method in Madison is the feelings of acceptance and home when you walk through the doors.

The class and atmosphere is inclusive. Even when it’s your first time, you aren’t made to feel like you don’t know what you’re doing. Have always hated classes at gyms bc it felt like I was the only one that didn’t “know the drill” when I went. I think it’s the focus on knowing everyone’s name and helping those that are new while also giving guidance to those that have been coming. First class I’ve ever loved and have continued.

We can fulfill many of our needs from many sources. But there are few guaranteed sources of strength and peace. Madison Bar Method is that source. And its the commitment of the owner, Gina Striffler, and her instructors that create it. Dont hesitate. You will fall in love.

Fun, non-judgy, motivational studio. I FINALLY am seeing results in my work outs. I like that there are different level classes and there are multiple times you can chose from during the week (and weekends).

As a client of The Bar Method workout for over 10 years I can easily say that it is the smartest, most efficient workout around. There is an intentional method to the class design that works to burn fat in higher proportions than any other workout and magically blends strengthening and stretching to create sculpted, strong, lean muscles in a safe way. As an instructor in the Madison studio I can personally vouch for our studios commitment to our clients. We open our doors to all with no judgement and give clients the opportunity to create change from the outside in under the guidance of highly qualified, well-trained and positive teachers and staff. Our supportive community has been built from the top down under the guidance of owner, Gina Striffler, and from the bottom up from our friendly and inclusive clients. If you are looking for a body-changing workout that will leave you feeling strong, lean, centered and happy - you will find it at The Bar Method Madison.

Great studio with instructors that are super helpful. if you have never tried bar method come to the madison studio. they are very good with new clients and help you with the correct positions. many ppl work out there who need specific modifications and the staff is so helpful. i had a back problem before i started( from a car accident) and my chiropractor said my recovery was good because of the stretching and bar exercises i was doing 2-3x week. you can try a free class, or go with a friend as a guest.
